EXTENDED MIND. “Humans generate and mould their niche (ecological, cultural, and social), and this niche moulds the neural system through the extension of “body schemas” and extra-neural connections. This extreme integration between brain and culture is a key feature in cognitive archaeology.” The landscape imprints itself on the Mind, per William Wordsworth. https://lnkd.in/dhY9QJ5w View in LinkedIn

ANCIENT FORMATIONS. “Globular clusters are located in the galactic halo and contain more stars and are much older than the less dense open clusters found in the galactic disk. Globular clusters are common, with about 150 globular clusters currently known in the Milky Way.” https://lnkd.in/gDYri97U View in LinkedIn

CLUSTERS. “A globular star cluster is a collection of stars that forms a spherical cluster rotating around the core of the Galaxy. Globular clusters are very closely connected by gravity, which gives them a spherical shape and a relatively high density of stars towards their centers.” https://lnkd.in/gDYri97U View in LinkedIn

ANTIMATTER SOURCE. “According to the modern concept, primordial black holes can also be sources of positrons and antiprotons.” https://lnkd.in/gDYri97U View in LinkedIn

“PRIMORDIAL black holes are a hypothetical type of black hole formed after the Big Bang. In the early Universe, high densities and inhomogeneous conditions could lead to gravitational collapse in dense regions, forming black holes.” https://lnkd.in/gDYri97U View in LinkedIn

RATIONAL DESIGN. “Synthetic biologists seek to introduce concepts from electronic engineering into cell biology, by treating DNA/molecular elements as components in a circuit and applying rational engineering principles to the design of biological systems.” https://www.nature.com/articles/srep08090 View in LinkedIn

ANTIMATTER FROM DARK MATTER. “Since dark matter has not yet been observed, if it exists, then it must interact through gravity with baryonic matter and radiation. The decay and annihilation of such particles can lead to the formation of antiparticles.” https://lnkd.in/gDYri97U View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENT FROM NATURE focuses on synthetic biology and its enormous successes in mimicking the model of electronic gates like AND, OR, NOT. Many object to the analogy of biology with a machine, but for practical purposes this reductionist approach has been successful. The applications are numerous, and we are just at the beginning.
